During the recent Level 5 restrictions, the marts performed very well, with sales throughput close to 90% of that in the same period in 2019. In recognition of the extra investment that marts are making in IT infrastructure to facilitate online sales, my Department plans to launch a grant scheme in early 2021 to support the use of technology.
